I gave new text messaging a test and when it works, it works great, but it's most certainly beta there are some bugs. I had it in a state where you couldn't do what you were supposed to at least a couple of times. But this is the first new major feature in a while, getting that Tesla new car...

Barry I hear you, but I gotta say this one technically adds some features for us, and so far, it *seems* more stable, so maybe it's an "upgrade" after all... I had quite a bit of use of my Model S today and didn't experience a single browser lock-up, and I even turned on the traffic display...

Well well, 2020.4.1 is now up and running in my 70D and I can't say, so far, that it's worse in any way... it even seems more stable in my short drive so far. The better voice control seems to be functioning, but with the same activation / deactivation glitches that have been there since the...

So ... you simply don't use the two most damaged features ... I've gotta wonder, was it by choice ? I barely use voice too because it triggers unreliably with my MCU1 and OG 3G and I can't rely on the browser anymore because it is so unreliable and is guaranteed to crash eventually. When I had...

I always kinda envied the locked battery for this "feature" it was a neat offering, my 70 is also a product of the pre-Model 3 experimentation and I feel lucky for it. Hopefully locked battery doesn't make for bad habits down the road though.. for me, remembering to not charge 90%+ unless I'm...

Ugh.. you guys are upgrading eh.. I do like new features and all, but I'm really worried they still think we're all just swell on our every-destination-erased, all-the-Trip-computers-reset, and rebooting-every-few-hours-to-get-browser-back (hopefully) MCU1, and adding new features could only...

@ sakimano :D thus my addition of "probably" ;) I was strictly talking of the volume of vehicles from Toronto to Montreal, never mind travel further East and West. pray for us all lol My guess is now we're now going to get a 20+ stall super Supercharger .. V3 .. probably wide open to make it...

I've also stopped using Scheduled Departure. I've gone back to manually dragging the charge level, charging to around 75% overnight then trying to top up in the AM (then remembering to reduce the charge level back down because my MAX CHARGE NOW idea has gone nowhere). I use a combo of cabin...

well at least they updated it (well all of the sites) to say hoping to finish in 2020 now... this is really starting to negatively impact my plans on a regular basis. It's probably the most important Supercharger needed for Canada.

Finally, someone else reporting what I've been reporting for months in various places here.. thank you. There are bugs still in the "tap and talk" code that replaced the "press and hold to talk" code. They seem to be exposed when the voice command routine times-out for whatever reason (and...

Hmm, I'd ask them for their definition of "blind spot detection" and then work to prove that your Model S does indeed meet the requirements. I'm pretty sure even when not activated (and even AP1) it will throw a collision warning should it reliably sense an obstruction (even with just the...

Interesting thread resuscitation here.. I've got some more of my own personal experience to report: 1) this year I did perform a factory reset on my Model S, and not only do I suspect it doesn't do any sort of secure wipe of the drive, but it actually leaves some personal data on the system...

2019.40.2.3 (Canada)... guess I'm contacting Service. Thanks

hmm, on the high voltage adjustments, so far in my 70D I've only noticed that regen seems to have returned to around the levels before they made them improved... ? I don't want anyone to have to drag my burning beauty out of an underground parking lot (but then again, I'm lucky with my 70 pack...

Hmm.. my 70D in Toronto has so far not been offered 2019.40.2.1 after installing 2019.40.2 .. and I can continue to report the browser for me is same as it was on previous firmware... I did find the charge-to-time setting .. on the Charging screen. Good to get something us cold climes have...
